ABSTRACT
Exceptive sentences vary in their complexity, and the agreement rules are not always followed (as in CA, there is a tendency for dependent forms to occur where agreement would be correct). Exhaustive exception, always negative: there being no antecedent, the excepted element is the logical argument and inflects accordingly. Continuous exception, positive: the excepted element is excluded from the action and therefore has default dependent case. The category of exhaustive exception may involve more complex longer sentences such as conditionals. Discontinuous exception is very rare and no examples were found. The following made-up example simply illustrates the principle that in this types the excepted element, being heterogeneous with the antecedent, has default non-agreement in dependent case: where the belongings and the travellers are of a different genus. The general principle is that the logical inclusion is marked by agreement with the antecedent:.
